Abstract

A game processing method that causes a computer to execute a game program includes displaying, with a touchscreen, a reference operation and a deck that comprises an item, receiving a first input operation to select the deck and second input operations, determining a matching degree between the reference operation and each of the second input operations, outputting, from a processor to a memory, a level of the matching degree based on the determination, counting, with the processor, a number of consecutive times that the level continuously exceeds a predetermined threshold level, calculating, with the processor, a score of the user based on the number, and outputting, from the processor to the memory, the score. When the item comprises a card having a predetermined effect and continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.

Claims (40)

1. A game processing method that causes a computer to execute a game program, the method comprising:

displaying, with a touchscreen of the computer, a reference operation and a deck that comprises an item;

receiving, with the touchscreen, a first input operation to select the deck and second input operations;

determining, with a processor of the computer, a matching degree between the reference operation and each of the second input operations;

outputting, from the processor to a memory of the computer, a level of the matching degree based on the determination;

counting, with the processor, a number of consecutive times that the level continuously exceeds a predetermined threshold level;

calculating, with the processor, a score of the user based on the number; and

outputting, from the processor to the memory, the score,

wherein when the item comprises a card having a predetermined effect and continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.

2. The game processing method according to claim 1 , wherein when the continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted:

a lottery is performed at a predetermined winning probability; and

in the event a result of the lottery is a win, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.

3. The game processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

outputting, from the processor to the memory, information to award a bonus when the number reaches achieved numbers of consecutive times.

4. The game processing method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

storing, with the memory, table data in which the achieved numbers of consecutive times is set for each performance and a predetermined winning probability for a predetermined number of bonuses is set for each of the achieved numbers of consecutive times,

wherein the outputting outputs, using the table data, the information to award the bonus based on a lottery result for each of the achieved numbers of consecutive times.

5. The game processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying displays the level of the matching degree on the touchscreen.

6. The game processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying displays the score on the touchscreen.

7. An information processing device comprising:

a touchscreen that;

displays a deck that comprises an item at a start of game and a reference after the start of game; and

receives a first input operation to select the deck and second input operations after the start of game from a user and second input operations after the start of game from the user;

a memory; and

a processor connected to the touchscreen and the memory and that:

determines a matching degree between the reference operation and each of the second input operations;

outputs, to the memory, a level of the matching degree based on the determination;

counts a number of consecutive times that the level continuously exceeds a predetermined threshold level;

calculates a score of the user based on the number; and

outputs, to the memory, the score,

wherein when the item comprises a card having a predetermined effect and continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein when the continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted:

a lottery is performed at a predetermined winning probability; and

in the event a result of the lottery is a win, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.

9. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor outputs information to award a bonus when the number reaches achieved numbers of consecutive times.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the memory stores table data in which the achieved numbers of consecutive times is set for each performance and a predetermined winning probability for a predetermined number of bonuses is set for each of the achieved numbers of consecutive times, and

wherein the processor outputs, using the table data, the information to award the bonus based on a lottery result for each of the achieved numbers of consecutive times.

11. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the touchscreen displays the level of the matching degree.

12. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the touchscreen displays the calculated score.
